Samesies

Ah, you and your samesies again!

I get grief for my “whoopsies” at the tennis courts.

HA, ever since I saw Superbad for the first time back when I was in high school I have been saying samesies.

For those of you who’ve gotten the vaccine, especially the J&J shot, does your vaccine card have a sticker on it giving detail of the vaccine, like lot number, manufacturer, etc.? I got the J&J vaccine, but they hand wrote the information on my card. Every other card I’ve seen from friends and family has a sticker on it.

I’m concerned that if I have to show mine anywhere to provide proof of vaccination, like at an airport, it might be looked at as fake.

I'm not really sure how that is going to work. The told me something to that effect about 'saving the card for travel' when I got my shot, too. I assume it will be for international travel only, since you can travel domestically right now without any proof of vaccination (I believe). I assume it's just a 'get out of having to quarantine free' card of sorts for traveling to/from different countries.

It also seems like it would be pretty easy to forge though, so not exactly an ironclad system.

We get the second Pfizer shot Thursday. The card has a sticker with the lot # and the date is handwritten. I must admit, the experience for the first shot was very well organized.

It is like getting a single barrel bottle of Bourbon with the barrel and warehouse number on it. May have a slightly different flavor depending on where it is stored. So when you go to get your booster next year you can search out to see if you can find your favorite lot.

Hawaii is the only domestic destination that could be interesting for this purpose. It's currently quite the hassle to get to Hawaii, and perhaps they will ease some of those restrictions if you can produce a vaccination card.

That’s my concern. My wife and I have a trip to go diving in the Cayman Islands later this year. They’ve been completely shut down to people from the US for a long time. I’d hate to find out my vaccine form isn’t acceptable since it’s all hand written. Based on some of the other comments, I’m not the only one whose form is all hand written, so I feel a little better about it.

Not sure if this is pertinent or not but if you’ve ever seen an immunization record from other countries it is extremely uncommon to see stickers. Typically handwritten or stamped with a date if not handwritten.

So if you lose the note are you just screwed, or can you get another one? If you get the vax at a 'megasite' does it get linked to your medical records somehow?

Depends on the state. I can only speak to Ohio who has a statewide system (already established for other vaccines) that documents who gets it. I can’t imagine it varies widely state to state but who knows with this ....

So, just a (VERY LOADED) question here... Does anyone fear we are heading back to The Dark Ages? The reason I ask, is because any past pandemic or viral outbreak (which has been handled successfully) has included swift vaccinations and public awareness. Have we forgotten history? And when medicine and science stomped a polio outbreak in NYC in a very short time period?

If you look at the numbers, polls suggest a majority of Trump supporters refuse to get the vaccine (nano chips, deep state, conspiracy), and many more refuse to wear masks (screw aerosol science, and those that provide protection to hospitals and doctors). COVID-19 has devastated countries from Italy to Brazil, but still, in our country, it's a conspiracy (for some).

I wonder where this narrative takes us. Find a cure for cancer? Diabetes? Multiple Sclerosis? Lou Gehrig's disease? Religion and natural selection will prevail! Toughen up buttercup, it's God's way (science and research is the devil).

As a proud Ohioan, looking at social media and comments on The Ohio Department of Health social media pages, I fear we are heading in the wrong direction.

But this thread is about coronavirus specifically. So I must note, I have "COVID ARM", a rash developed several days after injection (for me 9 days) around the injection site. This seems to be a quite common side effect of the Moderna vaccine. It's itchy, but harmless.
